Ah, but it MIGHT mean that you absorbed a lot of good safety habits from your dad (who would have thought a lot about safety in his career) so therefore you’re ahead of the curve in that regard . . . similar sort of thing to asking if your parent is a doctor on your med school application. That does not mean that…

I have doubts that he is telling the truth. I’m also glad he did not become a doctor, because the world doesn’t need more doctors who are so self-involved and do not listen.

Racist POS and a liar.

I don’t even need to click on the links, to know this is some low-level Hard Copy type bullshit. Just reading this was enough to turn my stomach, thank you.

“Hi! I perpetrated fraud and kept someone else out of med school who wasn’t lying about who they were. Don’t get mad, though, because it was a long time ago and I dropped out anyway, teehee.”

What the actual fuck?

Number one, he faked his race. Black is a race. It’s not that hard to get that right. Damn. Number two, the headline should have been “Mindy Kaling’s Brother is a Racist Dickbag”

His reason for making this public is BS — Proposition 209 amended California’s constitution to ban the use of race in governmental decisions, which has been widely held to ban the use of race-based affirmative action in college admissions. In other words, UCLA isn’t considering “strengthening its affirmative action…

I don’t really feel qualified to comment on that. I just think you can’t really minimize the achievement of getting into ‘only one school’, because it is incredibly hard to get into one school. :) You also have to realize that top students usually go to top schools and if the other 19 programs he applied to were…

He claims to have kept all his documentation from a bid to get into medical school nearly 20 years ago? When he flunked out after 2 years?

Except he applied to like 20 med schools as a black guy and only got into 1.

This guy is unbelievable. Like, I literally do not believe him. His story does not add up.

True but if being black gave you such an advantage wouldn’t he have gotten in to a few more?

Did he even try to get into medical school on his own or did he just know he would be a failure, so he copped to being black just so he can have something other than himself to blame? It’s black Vijay that couldn’t hack med school. Asian Indian Vijay would have, but the whole affirmative action disillusioned him.

1. His MCAT scores were very high for 1999. Average matriculating score then was 28/29, now its more like 30/31. His MCAT scores certainly compensated for the GPA

Everything about this is weird.

A white or Asian kid attending an elite high school with Ivy League graduate parents has a much higher chance of getting into an Ivy than a black kid attending a title 1 high school that’s in the the top 5% of his class.

The guys sounds like a Grade A douchebag; I understand his sister is not pleased with this behavior.

God what an asshole. The only thing he proved is that affirmative action doesn’t work the way people think it works. Even as a UofC grad and with his blackface schtick, he still couldn’t get into any Ivy league med schools and the best he could do was St. Louis. I hate that people criticize affirmative action but not…

K like I can’t get over this. I didn’t know it was possible to hate someone that you’ve never met so much.

I think I have a lot of thoughts on this. But all my brain keeps repeating to me is:
